ProjectQ - An open source software framework for quantum computing

https://travis-ci.org/ProjectQ-Framework/ProjectQ.svg?branch=master

ProjectQ is an open source effort for quantum computing.

The first version (v0.1) features a compilation framework capable of targeting various types of hardware, a high-performance quantum computer simulator with emulation capabilities, and various compiler plug-ins. This allows users to

  • run quantum programs on the IBM Quantum Experience chip
  • simulate quantum programs on classical computers
  • emulate quantum programs at a higher level of abstraction (e.g., mimicking the action of large oracles instead of compiling them to low-level gates)
  • export quantum programs as circuits (using TikZ)
  • get resource estimates

Getting started

To start using ProjectQ, simply follow the installation instructions in the tutorials. There, you will also find OS-specific hints, a small introduction to the ProjectQ syntax, and a few code examples. Also, make sure to check out the ProjectQ website and the detailed code documentation.
